Am I eligible for the DTV if I won't have 3 months of bank statements showing 500k?

Digital Nomad DTV Visa Tourist Visa Financial Requirements Embassy Procedures Bank Statements Visa Application Thailand Visa Rules

ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm a digital nomad that has been traveling on tourist visas and surviving on less than THB 500k for the last few months. At the end of this month, I will receive a "top-up" that puts me over the 500k requirement for the DTV.

Am I not eligible for DTV until I have 3+ months of bank statements showing that amount in my account?

I read some posts in this group where people mention writing a cover letter of sorts to explain your situation. Perhaps that could improve my chances.

Maybe sponsorship is the better approach. I will be applying at the embassy in Hanoi.

Any advice is much appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks clarification on whether they can apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) despite not having 3 months of bank statements showing the required THB 500k, as they will receive a top-up that brings them above this threshold at the end of the month. Community responses indicate that having the necessary amount in the bank at the time of application may suffice, and experiences may vary depending on the embassy's requirements.

Depends on which embassy, but I personally got a DTV accepted in Cambodia after having that amount in account balance around

It all depends on the embassy. Vietnam and Cambodia don’t require it as it seems. Use the search function in this group to get more details

I don’t think you need 500k on every statement as long as you have it in the bank at the time of application and entry. The previous months statements are just to give a more detailed picture of your financial stability I believe.

Since the funding is a major requirement why don't you tell us what kind of money you've been playing/surviving with over the last 3 months until you top it up to 500k.

Currently it appears to depend on the embassy you apply at, there’s no consistent application of the rules on this. If you search “Vietnam” posts in the group you may get a better idea of that embassy and the extra documents they may ask for.

Based on my experience You don’t need to have 500k Baht for all the requested statement . You need to have them on the account at the time of application.
